ABSTRACT

The article discusses merger possibilities considered by Holy Name Medical Center in Teaneck, New Jersey. According to Chief Executive Officer Michael Maron, if the hospital cannot stay independent then a merger with a local partner would build on the hospital's strong patient relationships. Holy Name's formation of a Medicare-piloted accountable care organization (ACO) is explored. Maron's vow to preserve the hospital's mission of providing essential services regardless of profit is cited.
